[GEMPAK #PGI-541511]: GPANOT on a cross section?

Brian,

You can run the program "plotsyms" to view the current
available symbols, special symbols etc such as:
 

> plotsyms
Creating process: gplt for queue 24350
 Enter device:
xw
Creating process: xw for queue 13101
 
  0 = Change device      1 = Markers     2 = Line Patterns
  3 = Weather Symbols    4 = Cloud Type  5 = Past Weather 
  6 = Pressure Tendency  7 = Sky Cover   8 = Icing        
  9 = Special Symbols   10 = Turbulence 11 = Fronts       
 12 = Special Lines     13 = Combo Syms 
 99 = Set Attribute Plotting 
 
Select a symbol type number or type EXIT:3
Enter symbol color or type EXIT:5
Enter symbol size or type EXIT:1
Enter symbol line width or type EXIT:1
Enter frame color, 0 for none, or type EXIT:0
Enter background color, 0 for none, or type EXIT:0
 
  0 = Change device      1 = Markers     2 = Line Patterns
  3 = Weather Symbols    4 = Cloud Type  5 = Past Weather 
  6 = Pressure Tendency  7 = Sky Cover   8 = Icing        
  9 = Special Symbols   10 = Turbulence 11 = Fronts       
 12 = Special Lines     13 = Combo Syms 
 99 = Set Attribute Plotting 
 
Select a symbol type number or type EXIT:
